Buisfs Lawn Grass Seeds 
AUTUMN SOWING PRODUCES A LASTING TURF 
The Fall season, from August iS to October 1st, is the best time to sow Lawn Grass Seed. The Fall rains hasten 
germination and enable the roots to become well established before freezing weather sets in. Growth is resumed with 
the first thaws of early Spring and the roots are strengthened while seed sown in the Spring is just undergoing germina¬ 
tion. A lawn grown in this way will endure Summer droughts better than a Spring sown lawn. 
SOW—On new land, use 1 lb. for every 200 square feet or 5 lbs. for 1000 square feet, 100 lbs. for one acre. For renovating 
old lawns when turf is thin use half quantity.

Flower Seeds for Fall Sowing 
Many of the best-known annuals may be sown in the fall. Some varieties, like the Snapdragon and Larkspur, are 
better treated this way. Ground should be prepared and seed sown just previous to the late heavy frost. The seed 
will then lie dormant until spring when it will germinate. In the Northern States care should be taken not to sow 
too early as the seed will germinate and die instead of remaining dormant until spring.

Splendid results can be obtained in the Southern States by sowing in the fall or early winter. The plants become better 
established and the root-growth stronger, which carries the plant through a dry season better and prolongs the blooming period.
